This summer, we sent you an email detailing our newest library capability, eglobalSearch, which enables you to simultaneously search 15 of Jones e-global library’s databases, including the catalog. If you haven’t viewed the demo yet, please take a moment to see how eglobalSearch can quickly direct you to just the information you need.
Listed below are the databases eglobalSearch encompasses (click on a title for a description of its contents). These, and all JIU’s databases, can also be searched individually.
